Abstract

We introduce the Szász and Chlodowsky operators based on Gould-Hopper polynomials and study the statistical convergence of these operators in a weighted space of functions on a positive semiaxis. Further, a Voronovskaja type result is obtained for the operators containing Gould-Hopper polynomials. Finally, some graphical examples for the convergence of this type of operator are given.

1. Introduction

In [1], Jakimovski and Leviatan introduced and investigated some approximation properties of the Favard-Szász type operator, by using Appell polynomials which satisfy the identitywhere is an analytic function in the disc , and ,Varma et al. constituted a link between orthogonal polynomials and the positive linear operators. In [1], they proposed Szász operators involving the Brenke polynomials defined by where and

Recently, Büyükyazıcı et al. in [2] introduced the Chlodowsky variant of operators (3). Inspired by this work, we give the Szász-Chlodowsky type operators including Gould-Hopper polynomials. The generating functions for these Gould-Hopper polynomials are given byand the explicit representationswhere denotes the integer part. Now, let us define Szász-Chlodowsky type generalization of the Szász operators with the help of generating function (4), as follows:where and is a positive increasing sequence with the propertiesThe generalization of Szász type operators has been studied in [310].

The aim of the this paper is to study some direct results in terms of the modulus of continuity of the second order, convergence of derivative operators to derivative functions, the weighted space, and the degree of approximation of by . We also study the statistical convergence. The rate of convergence of the operators to a certain function is also illustrated through graphics using Matlab.

4. -Statistical Convergence

Now, let ,  , be an infinite summability matrix. For a given sequence , the -transform of , denoted by , is given by which provides the converging series for each We say that is a regular if whenever A sequence is called -statistically convergent to if, for every , This limit is denoted by Replacing by , the Cesàro matrix of order one in (6), from -statistical convergence, is reduced to statistical convergence. Similarly, if we take , the identity matrix, then -statistical convergence coincides with the ordinary convergence. Kolk [13] proved that, in the case of , -statistical convergence is stronger than ordinary convergence.

Further, we will first obtain the following weighted Korovkin theorem via -statistical convergence.
